Russell Brand: Celebrity, power, sex and what's next

In this extra episode of The Briefing: Comedian, actor, writer, podcaster and conspiracy theorist, Russell Brand, has come under fire.

While Brand has been a celebrity for more than twenty years, over the past few days shocking allegations have come to light. While Brand vehemently denies he is guilty and insists all his sexual encounters were consensual, at least four women have accused him of rape and/or sexual assault.

Jahan Kalantar is a Sydney-based lawyer who attracted global attention for his commentary on the Amber Heard/Johhny Depp trial. In this extra episode of The Briefing, Jahan discusses what we can expect next for Russell Brand.
